Clubul Kids in Tech

Buna ziua,

Incepem prin a va ura un calduros La multi ani!

Speram ca 2016 sa ne aduca o colaborare frumoasa, ce poate duce educatia romanesca mai aproape de tehnologie si programare.

Kids in Tech revine in forta cu noutati, provocari intelectuale si materiale de studiu dedicate elevilor si profesorilor romani inscrisi in proiect.

Insa, pentru a va consolida clubul Kids in Tech din cadrul institutiei de invatamant pe care o reprezentati, e nevoie sa ne trimiteti datele dvs (nume prof. coordonator, e-mail, numar de telefon, numar elevi inscrisi, scoala/liceul reprezentat si orasul din care faceti parte).

In curand veti primi un material video in care va sunt explicate implicatiile in acest proiect si parcursul sau urmator, precum si un acord de parteneriat.

In cazul in care v-ati inscris clubul (ati trimis datele necesare), sunteti deja inregistrat in baza noastra de date.

Pentru ca vrem sa fim mai aproape de voi si pentru ca ne plac povestile frumoase in care oamenii se implica in educatia elevilor indiferent de conditiile materiale, vrem sa stim si povestea ta!

Avem de daruit 6 laptop-uri si 2 unitati desktop pentru scolile/liceele defavorizate, care, chiar daca au o situatie precara din punct de vedere al disponibilitatii device-urilor, au dorinta de a continua studiul  programarii.

Ne puteti trimite povestea dvs in format text, imagini sau video unde puteti ilustra conditiile tehnologice ale institutiei de invatamant pe care o reprezentati iar noi, in functie de materialele primite vom alege beneficiarii.
 

In anul 2016, fiecare elev sau eleva merita sa invete programare!

Kids in Tech reprezinta sansa dvs, a profesorilor, de a transmite elevilor oportunitatea intelegerii tehnologiei!

Pastram legatura!

Stimati colegi,

Va rugam sa va anuntati elevii despre concurs. Evenimente importante se apropie!

In acelasi timp va indemnam sa folositi din plin platforma Netspace sau orice alta resursa pentru pregatire.

Va stam la dispozitie cu ajutor, raspunsuri la intrebari.

Succes!

Anuntul:

Prima etapă a concursului AcadNet este aproape!

Mai sunt aproape 2 luni de zile în care elevii pasionați de calculatoare și rețele de calculatoare pot să se înscrie într-o competiție în care să-și măsoare forțele cu alți pasionați ai domeniului. Concursul oferă elevilor posibilitate de a-și dovedi cunoștințele prin participarea în una din categoriile:

·         Calculatoare (clasele IX-X);

·         Calculatoare (clasele XI-XII);

·         Rețele (clasele IX-X);

·         Rețele (clasele XI-XII).

 

Rețineți principalele date:

·         4 februarie 2016 - este ultima zi în care se pot face înscrieri.

·         13 februarie 2016 –  etapa județeană

·         19 martie 2016  - etapa interjudețeană

·         6-8 mai 2016 – etapa națională, la Universitatea Politehnica București

Pe site vor fi publicate și datele unor simulări.

În acest an invităm finaliștii să participe la o nouă secțiune a concursului AcadNet: Interoperabilitatea prin Servicii Software (ISS). 

In aceasta nouă sectiune accentul cade pe  abilitățile de eficientizare ale unor secțiuni de cod deja scrise.
Candidații vor primi cod deja scris (C/C++) și vor răspunde la întrebări legate de funcționalitatea codului și identificarea unor erori de funcționare (nu de sintaxă).  În cadrul competiției, candidații vor găsi soluții pentru depanarea, modularizarea și refactorizarea codului, apelând la metode de diagnosticare și profiling.

Secțiunea se adresează celor ce sunt deja familiarizați cu limbajul C/C++.

 

Vă așteptăm pe site-ul concursului unde puteți consulta regulamentul, programa, subiectele date în anii anteriori și puteți să vă înscrieți.
